What's New in Version 5.4

MUSIC EXPERIENCE UPGRADES, SOUND ENHANCEMENTS FOR THE PLAY:1 AND SIMPLER SETUP FOR HOME THEATER

By your request, we’ve improved our shuffle feature in the Sonos App to relist upcoming tracks in their new, revised playing order. TuneIn Radio also has a new new look with improved icons and high def album art.

Enjoy some slight changes we’ve made to improve the clarity of the PLAY:1. We’ve also optimized the bass performance when you pair the PLAY:1 with a SUB.

We’ve made a wired connection to the router optional for home theater setups (i.e. surround sound). If you already have Sonos home theater– no need to change a thing.

Finally, we’ve also created an updated set of tools to help our partners easily bring new features to the Sonos app in the future like time of day music recommendations, and more.

I'm an IT/AV specialist and I sell Sonos, but app needs fixed!

I've sold and owned Sonos for 3+ years now, it is great product and my friends and customers love it. However I have to agree with blurbyu in the review below, that the smartphone app has become flawed. It loses my many Sonos components after I start playing them. Sometimes 2-3 songs in on Pandora, sometimes just after unpausing them. My network uses Static IPs, and my Sonos Connects are hard wired to my LAN, and my iPhone 6 is static IP to the same network wirelessly. I have reset all my units many times, and update everything constantly. But for the past 3-4 months the app loses one or two of my Sonos players. They randomly show up and disappear in the app over a 30-60 minute session of music. It's very annoying when a song is going that I want to turn down from 100ft away, and suddenly the player is gone from the app, but still streaming music.... LOUDLY. I have to manually run over to the Sonos component and turn it down with the buttons. Fix the app guys!!

Sonos=5 star. Sonos App=2 star

LOVE Sonos and anyone on the fence should just plunk down and become happy. You will not regret it. I'm updating this review because the iPhone app has improved quite a bit. There are still some major gaps though. It's still just too much fiddling with groups and volume levels to get common speaker configurations reset. They need the equivalent of "scenes" in lighting automation, and then a simple two tap affair to invoke, say, the relaxing dining setup or the living room surfing configuration or the rock the house mode. Album art should very zoomable. Improve the interface to services so, for example, Songza feels nice like the Songza dedicated app. Make alarms more functional... Ie capture speaker settings. Allow unlimited favorites. Make the zone setup UI fewer steps. Interface with home automation infrastructures asap before Apple comes in and eats your lunch! Otherwise, LOVE YOU, Sonos!

Wish I'd started years sooner

I've become a huge Sonos fan and wish I'd tried out the system years instead of mere months ago. I've dispersed four Play:1s around the house and have a Soundbar for home theater surround minus a Sub (so far). I've had zero of the problems I see in other reviews. The software is Apple quality and while not audiophile caliber the hardware is the best digital reproduction I've heard. I wish I could control the volume on my locked phone from the phone volume buttons as I can with the Apple music app, and I wish the rest of the album/playlist would play when I start with a song in the middle. Other than that, I'm totally satisfied.
